I'm about to buy an ST-A. My problem is leaks. I have an F20 full face. My respiration is around 7 which is too low (hence the ST-A). In the wee hours when I start getting into deep recuperative sleep, I start getting leaks since I'm presuming the respiration rate is too low. Those leaks wake me up. The mask is already very tight and I'm not sure what to do to prevent the leaks. I've had the nose silicone pad which helps the fit. Any ideas? Thank you kindly.
Instead of the silicone try the memory foam cushions for the F20 mask. In case you’ve never heard of it it’s called the Airtouch (memory foam) cushions opposed to the Airfit (silicone) cushions. I had the same problem and thats what worked for me.
@@danadcox9154 Thanks for the idea! I ended up getting a medium DOCTODD BMC CPAP F1B mask (a ripoff from an american mask) and its done much better. I'll try a medium airtouch next month! :)
Thank u for the upload
Can you tell me why the one on the top of machine is flashing yellow and it’s peeping?

I use the bleep dream ports and tape my mouth shut with hypoallergenic medical tape, I also use a back up battery pack
